The version I received is different cosmetically that what is in the picture. The new version has ridges and a prominent 'Kyser' logo with a religious symbol (crucifix). Functionally the product works the same as the old one - meaning it's terrific. I've used the old version heavily over the past 10-15 years and it still works great. Just be aware that it may look differently that what is shown (I purchased the silver one).

I bought this to have a spare but it makes my guitars sharp and sound out of tune.I am going to stick with my original one which has an adjustable screw for tension.Not worth the money to me.

I used to used the old elastic capos. I noticed that whenever a really good guitarist came over, he used a Kyser. I tried one and I'm satisfied. It goes on easily, stays out of the way when in place and when you're not using it, you can clamp it on the headstock, ready for action. As to improving the sound, I don't know if it does that. It doesn't make the guitar sound worse. While it's a bit more expensive than the elastic capos, it's a lot cheaper than several others.

Kyser makes capos for acoustic and electric guitars. I've use both types for years and love them. They're easy / quick to use , attach to the headstock / mic stand when not in use , and reasonably priced. They get misplaced/lost on gigs so I buy several when on sale to keep in each guitar case. For me , they're the best !

I got one for Christmas this past December and it sucks.I'm playing a Martin HD-28 so it's NOT the guitar.Kyser is using cheaper springs than they use to twenty years ago.I wish I'd asked for another brand for a gift.

I think MF has the best prices and best selection on guitar accessories. I know they were the only place that seemed to have the Kyser red bandana capo I wanted in stock. The service was fast. I had it in just a couple of days. I just wish MF didn't charge sales tax. That would prevent me from making a large purchase from them, such as the Fender Tele I have my eye on.

I have tried many capos and got one of these 10 or 15 years ago. Best capo I ever used. Easy to put on, easy to slide around, always has the perfect amount of tension, and it is solid as a rock. The best ever!

It worked flawlessly until a couple months ago, when I put it down at a guitar jam and went home without it. I hadn't bought a capo yet when my girlfriend buys me one for Valentine's, and it is the exact same Kyser that I used to have! Honestly, if I don't lose this one it will last for decades.
